Scoring defense:

ISU 9
Kstate 14
Texas 21

Total defense: kstate 45

Clearly we flex more when the ball crosses our half and into the red zone. That’s a good sign for the culture. We toughen up back against the wall instead of buckling. I’ll take the above stats. Although I’d like to see total defense get down to the 20’s

?

Seems like a key to this game. This Duggans kid played the game of his life today. Fun to watch. OSU got tired though so

We’ll see how TCU handles top 10 notoriety

Martinez should be highly challenged here it will be interesting to see his response. He definitely raised his game against Gabriel

From kstatesports.com. Mostly about his background. Interesting path to Ksu.
He wore a knee brace last year but looks like it is off now

Updates coming...

TV networks want to see how K-State vs TCU and Oklahoma State vs Texas goes before giving a network and time slot for the game.

An update with Lucius covering his relationship with K-State's staff on Rivals:

I’m sure 9Am has taken a ton of pressure off Deuce . It just seems Deuce has been quieter this year. Hasn’t had the long breakaway runs. Is my perception flawed? Not being critical at all. Just seems quieter

2 KSU vs. Ok. St. Tickets Oct. 29th--SW Corner-Sec. 10-Row 35-Seats 9 & 10. w/Attached Chair Backs. $180 for the pair.
Leave a note if interested. I can deliver tickets electronically too.

This site used to do occasional interviews with Chris lowrey called coffee with Chris. Be nice to have something similar with a member of the new staff to get some insights on how practice is going and how Iindividual players are progressing.
IE. There was a recent 3maw podcast interviewing Maligi. In that podcast, maligi called Tomlinson an NBA talent who needs to learn how to compete at this level and said Johnson is full go in practice but still getting in basketball shape. Also said Johnson can be a 40% 3 point player.

Anyway to get a little basketball news during the middle of football season.
Maybe just an interview or two with assistant coaches.

"I expect every game we play to be just like this."

Our lack of a running game is what beat us.

Will either be on FOX or FS1, will depend on MLB schedule for October 22nd. Will depend on if ALCS Game 3 or NLCS Game 4 gets primetime treatment.

What’s the latest? Surprised we haven’t heard some insider info.

@DTKSU is this still Putin's fault or who are we blaming besides our own administration now?

Whatever you got regarding K-State, today’s slate of games or non-sports throw it my way while we have no Cats to watch this weekend.

11 years ago the Cats won 41-34 in Lubbock, just as a little OTD.

What is eye-watering about Rhule's firing is that he will pick up $40 million from the six-year guaranteed contract he signed in 2020.

The money will only be an issue if Rhule takes charge of another NFL team, so he has to decide whether to enjoy his millions and sit out a few years or whether the desire to coach again will overrule his desire for the cash.

Comments from Taylor in the Wichita paper.

Taylor said K-State has sold 10,000 season tickets for men’s basketball. That’s up significantly from last year, when that number was closer to 8,000 in Bruce Weber’s final season. “Those have also been really positive,” Taylor said. “Our basketball ticket sales are tracking right at where they were in 2019.” The capacity crowd at Bramlage is listed at 12,528. Actual attendance numbers dipped significantly in recent years for home basketball games as the Wildcats suffered through three consecutive losing seasons. But that may change in 2022-23 now that Tang has infused new excitement into the program. Much like football, i
